Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I use one account for all courses? No. You will need a new account for Apolitical and Dub.ai. However, for Course 1 and Course 4, you should use the same IBM SkillsBuild account to track your progress accurately.
Q2: What if my certificate name differs slightly from the system requirements? Always use the exact title printed on the certificate for the IPPIS entry. For Course 1, ensure you upload the "AI Literacy" completion badge rather than individual module screenshots.
Q3: Is there a deadline for these uploads? While deadlines are set by individual departments (like NESA), these are considered "Active Requirements" for 2026 performance reviews. It is recommended to complete them within 30 days of the training announcement.
Q4: I am having trouble with the IBM link. What should I do? The IBM SkillsBuild platform works best on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. If the link fails to load, clear your browser cookies or try "Incognito Mode."
